Has anyone out there replaced the water and inhibitor in a Bailey Unicorn Pamplona central hot water heater system.
I have a basic idea of what to do but if someone has done it and can give me a bit of a heads up on the process, and how much fluid it holds or where I can go to get this info.
I have the recomended inhibitor which is mixed 50/50.
I have tried to get this info from Bailey Austtralia but I think they even know less than I do.
Cheers

Thanks for that it explains a lot but I would like to here from other Bailey owners who may have done this or know how to do this and can give me some idea of amount of fluid I need and the best way to drain the system.

Just look under your van at the rear normaly, You will see the drain pipe,(Black) with a small plug in the pipe, Just pull the plug and the system will drain, Open the header tank by removing the tank cap, If you put a container under the van to collect the heating fluid,You will know excatly how much fluid your system holds.
REFILLING
After you have made up the heating fluid in a bucket, Open the front rad bleeder,To make things work a little faster,Drop the jocky wheel and have the front of the van as high as you can,This will help with removing the air out the system. Start to fill the header tank,(oh and make sure you have plugged the drain)Once the tank wont take anymore fluid,turn the bleed tap shut, Lower the van level,Top up the tank, Now lower the front of the van as far as you can, You now see a few bubbles come up in the header tank, Once you have correct level of water just under the full line,Now you have most of the air in the system removed fire up the heating, You might find that the pump will be noisey now and again, This is air flowing through the header tank hitting the motor pump blades.Keep checking that the air as been removed, check your levels and top up if need be. Hope this helps?

Poor buggers, we've got hot weather and big areas on fire lost over 200 houses in three different states destroyed. Hope things get better for all. World has gone mad.
On another note I've done the water change over was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Thanks for your help guys
